FASHION NOTES.

NEW YORK, Dec. 8th, 1877.
COLonnD BABlEl.

A Genius has devised a taking notion. He

.is advertised for two thousand colored ba-
. Zes, which he proposes to put on exhibition

9. once. He has divided them up among the

rates, and intends having them from all over

“ e South. He pays traveling expenses to

..d from the city, 8?. l expenses while here.

"0 could get his two thousand from New

IOI'k aloue,but the point in the exhibition is,

t i show the raw material from the South, as
cll as those who have been favored with the

Zvilizing influences of the Irish, Italian and

'Minese residents Of this city. It will take
imensely. 2,000 colored babies, with their

anthers, will make a show such as the city

never before saw. Already it is the town
ilk, and everybody anticipates a great deal
fun out of it.

This CIGAR-maxsus' srnixn

c :ntinues with varying fortune. Some few of

're manufacturers, whose orders were weeks

chind in consequence of the strike, have

s :ccumbed and taken back their hands at the
lvance asked, while others still hold out.
lve hundred of them have organized a co-

wperative factory, and are going into business

. .i- themselves. This is a move in the right

direction. If workmen can start for them-

5 -ives when wages don‘t suit them, they have
.lved the labor question. But, alas, there

ill be forty heads to it, they will get dis-

lnnest and inefficient men in control, there

" ill be all sorts of irregularities and it will

.1 iuhtlcss fail. Still, I am glad it is being

izied. There will be a thousand failures be

.‘ ire they learn how to do it, but when they

I;.lV8 once learned, it will be a great thing for

iihor. The cigar-makers can namell afford

) experiment as any other class. Thursday,
:3 7e thousand of them, men, women and chil-
iren, turned out in procession, with banners
and music, and made a very respectable de-
monstration. They cheered the factories that
..'e1'c paying the advance, and hissed most
t. :nphatically those still holding out.

POLITICAL.

The struggle over the New York ofiices,
between Secretary Evarts and Senator Conk-
I'ng is the theme of talk among the politi-
. inns. They are sadly divided about it. One
action claims that all the reforms carried out
a 3’ Secretary Sherman were urged by Col-
:.»etor Arthur, months before the new admin-
. :trution came in, and that under the civil
service rules he ought not to be removed;
while the other side insists that Collector
Arthur, having the abuses ought not to be re-
Pi‘obably both sid(s are right, and
g. Arthur is an honest man, but I

but he was running the Custom
-t always had been run, and I doubt
.. r :here would have been so sweeping
:I change but for the decisive action takcn‘in
i‘v’ashington. It is claimed, and with some
show of justice, that the President ought to
have in place those who can eo-opcrate with
him in harmony. 110 will have a hard time
enough of it to institute reforms, Heaven
knows, email be is allowed to have his own

way about these minor matters. It is a

thousand pities that the trouble cannot be

healed, and the integrity of the State preserv-
ed. This is no time to split up into factions
and let the enemy beat us in detail.

THE LOAN EXHlBITlON

.‘or the benefit of the Decorative Art Society,

is the greatest novelty. The ladies of the

best and wealthiest families of New York
have lent their art treasures, their laces,worth
thousands of dollars, their costly fans and
antique ornaments, and gentlemen have lent
their pictures, choice carvings, illuminated
missals, bronzcs, porcelain and bric-a-hrac of
every curious and costly sort. The result is

a show of richness and brilliance that delights

the soul of the novelty-loving citizen. He

and his wife can bend over the show cases
and compare the laces of Mrs. Astor with

:hose of Mrs. August Belmont and other mil-

iionaires’ wives, look at their splendid old

court fans and jeweled watches, and fancy
how it would seem to own such things them-
selves. There are point laces, 300 years Old,
in good condition and quite ready to be worn
on a dress again, a dress, entirely of thread
lace, worked with little sprigs, made at a man-

ufactory in Ipswich, Mass, in 1824, lent by a

Boston lady, and specimens of the rarest

points, made by Mrs. Carter, the lace artist

of New York, some of them made between
two and seven in the morning, after a day
full of business. So the modern and the au-
tique lie side by side. The lace made in this
century and the last is the finest, but the old
surpasses it in beauty of design. The exhib-

ition is unusually successful, and will be a

great attractionwbile it lasts.

mined.

Tun DECORATIVE ART soomrr
was established less than a year since, to pro-
vide instruction in fine handicrafts, lace work
and embroidery, china painting,wood carving
and modeling, and to give persons who are
skilled in these arts a means of disposing of
them to the best advantage. A man or wo-
man who does a piece of good work any where
in the country can send it to the society, and
have it sold—for its favors are free to all—in
the best market, for a commission of 10 per
cent. to pay expenses. Already the Society
has more orders for fine work than it can fill,
and articles seldom remain long on its
shelves. Contributions of work are sent
from all the States, and one of the latest, 9.
piece of the finest muslin embroidery, so fine
that it tries the eyes to inspect it, is the work
of an old lady, who does needle-work as val-
uahlc as lace.

Letters from the People.

 

Hints on Temperance.

In these days of temperance agitation and
efiort, there seems to the writer a creeping in
of erroneous impressions. a lack Of thorough-
ness, an overlooking of fundamental princi-
ples among the sympathiscrs and those most
engaged in the work Of reformation, without
the recognition of which, success will ever
remain one of the things of the future. Per-
haps a few suggestions from an outside OI)-
snrver may not he amiss. We are told by

i n: ~ninent leaders that intemperanee is n gl-

iztic evil, assuming a magnitude and an

' .rrmous proportion unequaled by any of
m..- evils known in the events of modern his-

tory, calling for the combined wisdom and
energy of all philanthropists and the whole
Christian church for its suppression and if
possible its annihilation. If so, then let it
be treated as1such. Can such a result be
realized by loppirg off some of the
larger branches, while the smaller ones, to-
gether with the stump and roots in all their
ramifications are overlooked and left undis-
turbed? Must it not be grappled with in a
whole-souled and united determination to
spare neither root or branch in the struggle?
The root of the matter evidently is not
reached. Can we. expect the blessing of the
Almighty to the fullest extent, and complete
success reward the efforts, and answers to
prayer realized, while constantly in the prac-
tice of habits and indulgenees whose influ-
ence, tendency and whole surroundings of
paternal example is to form the same in the
children of the rising generation from their
earliest years? If intemperanec is to be re-
moved or suppressed, surely the beginnings
are the important points to be guarded. We
read in 1 Cor. 3—9, “We are laborers together
with God." Are we not then called to exc-
cute faithfully our part, do all that lies in
our power, and put away evil influences and
present ourselves with clean hands for the
work, in order to be eminently successful?
The Almighty will not do that which He has
placed in the power of man to do for him-
self. Divinc power only is given when hu-
man power fails. Is not the whole teachings
of the Scriptures in all their examples and
precepts to that effect ? Witness the event of
raising to life of Lazarus from the dead.
The direction given to the disciples, “Take
ye away the stone.” Does any one doubt
that the power manifested on that occasion
in raising the dead to life, was not sufficient
to remove the covering from the grave, and
does any one for a moment suppose that that
power would have been called into exercise
had the attendants through wilfulness or neg-
lect allowed the stone to have remained?
With full obedience and consistent labor suc-
cess is sure—like the breaking of the morn-
ing—all the united powers of darkness can-
not hindcr or prevent the rising of the great
luminary or the coming of the many attend-
ant blessings. Are the fountains in the fash-
ionable gilded saloons and corner drug stores,
though perhaps not intoxicating or touched
by the question of license, and further, the
pet indulgences of tea and coffee of our do-
mestic boards, and all the minor beverages
concocted and universally defended, over.
looked, and winked at, anything less than
substitutes—rootlets of the great tree of in-
temperance—the first formation of habits—
the first setting aside of the great original
provision of the Great Creator—the first step-
ping stones in the downward course to the
dram shops in all their debaucheries and vul-
garity? What said Paul to the Centurion
when the ship-men were about to save them-
selves in their disastrous voyage: “Except
these abide in the ship ye cannot be saved.’
Can we in these modern days expect the bless-
ing of the Almighty unless we commence at
first principles. Stand by the ship and cut
off the boat Of pet indulgences of whatever
name or form. Does not one and all of the

same basis, and stand or fall by the same
principle—all equally unnecessary and un-
called for in the great economy of nature and
Without defence? We may labor zealously,
and pray earnestly, but will never be success-
ful, till there is a willingness to do all that lies
in our power. In so doing would not the
rising generation at least be saved—a genera-
tion uncontaminated by any of the habits and
vices of the present day, andéntemperanee
fall of its own weight powerless to the earth,
a withered, rootlcss trunk, a wonder to all,
vanish like the morning dew, and temperance
pledges and organizations be gazed upon and
regarded with curiosity, and rank with the
spinning-wheels and looms Of our ancestral
generation past, by the children of the com-
ing future, as worthless rubbish, and as use-
less appendages of a primitive 8y. Have
not temperance leaders and reformers yet
something to do in the camp before making
large and extended advances upon the enemy?

Winds.

It was first observed by Dr. Franklin that
the northeast storms on the coast of the
United States of America, frequently begin
earlier in the Southern States than in the
Northern. This he accounts for by suppos
inga great rarefaetiou of air in or near the
Gulf of Mexico; the air rising thence has its
place supplied by the next northern, and
therefore denser and heavicrair; a succes-
sive current is thus formed, to, which the
coast and inland mountains give a northeast
direction.

Experiments have been made by several
persons {at different times and places to de-
terminc the velocity of the wind by observa-
tion—noting the space passed over by a
cloud or any light substance, and by other
methods: and it has been found that the ve-

fifty to sixty miles per hour.

A whirlwind is a dangerous phenomenon,
and caused by the adjacent air rushing in
from all parts toward a center with great
rapidity and force, and so damaging and de-
stroying everything it passes over in its pro-
gressive motion. A water-spout whirlwind
arises from the same cause; the former being
formed on land is composed principally of
air, while the latter, being formed at sea, is
composed of water. ~

The land and sea breezes prevail principal-
ly between the tropics. , The sea breeze gen-
erally sets in about 10 a. In. and continues
until about 5 or O p. In At 7 the land breeze
begins and continues until about .8 in the
morning. The cause of these winds is said
to be this: That during the day the sea is not
so much heated by the sun as is the land, nor
so much cooled during the night. Hence, in
the day time, the cool air from theisca will
rush toward the land to supply the deficiency
occasioned by the greater rarefication of the
air, and hence arises the sea breeze. In the
like manner during the night the air at land
being cooler than at sea will therefore
blow from the land toward the sea,and hence
occasion a so called land breeze.

Between Sumatra and Java to the west,and
New Guinea to the east, there are regular
monsoons. The northwest monsoon blows
from October to April; the southeast .mon-
soon the remainder of the year.

The monsoons do not shift suddenly from
one point of the compass to the opposite. In
some places the time of the change is attend-
ed with calms, in others by variable winds;
and it often happens, on the shores of Caro-
mandel and China, towards the end of the
monsoons, that there are most violent stonns,
called TulIoons, these greatly resemble the
hurricanes in the West Indies, wherein the
wind is so strong and powerful that scarcely
anything can resist its force; for this reason
it is more dangerous to approach those shores
at the time of the breaking up of the mou-
soons than at any other season of the year.

A dozen times tO-day.

Saw the sunshine break
Through the gates of morning,
To kiss him wide awake.

How, in every mischief,

Shall she whip her dreadful boy
And put him into bed?

The Eccentric Don Piatt Disgust-
ed Wltli the Style of Men the
Democrats Appoint at the Capi-
tol.

A closer look at the sort of force the vari‘
ous officers of the House has called into ex-
istence, makes us thank God that Sammy
Tilden did not secure the Presidency. Had
that sort of thing been spread over the entire
country I believe the wheels Of Government
would cease to turn for lack of capacity. Mr.
Foster of Ohio publicly designated officials
of the late House as respectable hammers.
Why lit) put in the word “respectable" both-
crs me, unless it was ironical. One is first
struck with the fact that the Democracy has
control in passing from the Senate end to
that of the House by the dirt on all sides.
The corridors are dingy and dirty, while the
floors are covered with pools of tobacco spit
and stumps of cigars. After this the sight of
the door-keepers and clerks give evidence

 

. that a class is about representing the great

unwashed.

You may consider this a little too severe.
If so, come on and take a look for yourself.
But I am not so uncommonly nice as to row
about this sort of neglect ; but the worst fea-
ture remains untold. There is not one officer,
either clerk, door-keeper, or sergeant-at—arms.
who is able to find in the Democracy men of
sufficient education to act in position where
such education is required. There is the
clerk, for example. In the opening of the
late Congress he turned out the librarian of
the House because such librarian was a Re-
publican. He hired an ctr-Congressman from
Kentucky, who failed, and then he run
through a lively lot of experiments until the
House lost. patience at being deprived of the
use Of the library, and by resolution forced
him to restore the negro messenger, who is
there to-day acting as librarian—not only a
Republican, but a black Republican. A beau-
tiful commentary that on the intelligence of
the class members fetch up from their dis-
tricts to fill these places.

This same clerk has in his employ, and can-
not dispense with his services, a man who for
sixteen years has been and is notoriously a
lobbyist for the gas company here that is
owned in Philadelphia. I could fill my letter
with cases illustrative of this incapacity.
You must not blame the clerk, door-keeper,
and sergeantat-arms for these appointments.
They had to select from the people the mem-
bers put fcrwmd. Every M. C. has a lot of
political bummcrs dependent upon him who
'follow him to Washington, and he has to pro-
vide for some of the worst or be murdered.
He pushes the most obnoxious upon the poor
fellows who have to make up a force to run
the House.

Nor am I an advocate of the beastly sys-
tem of filling places with political adherents
for services at the polls. Had these gentle-
men retained one and all of the Republican
lot I would have made no Objection. But as
they did make a sweep, or attempted it, I
only call your attention to the result.— Was]:-

Tun EASTLAKE Inna—Although the arch-
aeology of Mr. Eastlake’s volume is not always
careful, most of the principles that he enun-
eiates in it are beyond question, and can be
generally stated ina few words. He would
have no carving or moulding or other orna-
ment glued on—such work must be done in
the solid ; he would have no niitred joints,
but joints made at the right angle, and scour.
ed by mortise, tenon, and pin; he would have
woods in their native color, and unvarnished,
or else painted in flat color, with a contrasting
line and a stenciled ornament at the angles;
he would have unconcealed construction
everywhere, and purposes plainly proclaimed:
and he would have veneer-mg, round corners,
and all curves weakening the grain of the
wood, absolutely forbidden. The furniture
that he thus proposes has straight, strong,
squarely cut members equal to their intention.
Its ornament is painted panels, porcelain pla-
ques and tiles, metal trimmings, and conven-
tionalized carvinfis in sunk relief, a part of
the construction entering into the ornament,
0150 in the shape of narrow striated strips of
wood radiating in opposite lines, after a
fashion not altogether unknown in the time
of Henry 111. It has the honesty and solidi-
ty, but not the attraction, of the Mediieval;
and if it is stiff and somewhat heavy, and fails
entirely to please, it has yet a wholesome and
healthy AIL—HARRIET PRESCOTT SrorrouD,
in Harper’s Magazine for Dccember.

APLEASANT KITCHEN. Considering that
so many women of the middle classes are
obliged to pass a great portion of their time
in the kitchen, why not make it an attractive
apartment, rather than stow it away in the
basement, or in some dark corner of the
house, as is now too frequently done? Many
houses display pleasant sitting-rooms: but if
we judge of the conveniences and general
pleasantness of the kitchen by the rooms in
the front of the house. we find in many in-
stances we utterly fail in our conjectures.
To make a little show in company rooms, how
many actual comforts are denied in many
house-holds. It is surely better to begin our
house-furnishing at the kitchen, and work
toward the front as we are able. Let the
kitchen closet be well-stocked, even though
the parlor sufieralittle. Surely the health
of the household, and the comfort of the
women folks should he placed above all
other consideration. 1'

Mr:

A S'rAIiiwax TO Tun CLOI'DS. John An:
derson, the first man to make the ascentf or
the great South dome in tlie__Yosemite .\ al-

hermit-like in a small house near the_ saddle
of the dome. Here he dreams and experiments,
coming occasionally. down Into the valley,
wherc‘he is the object of eager curiosny to
travelers, who whisper one to another;
“There’s the sailor who climbed the dome.-
But few travelers have ever ascended to his

know that he is now busily constructing a
staircase of» one thousand steps, which he
intends shall form an easy pathway to the
